Today on passes of both SO-50 and AO-27, there were terrestrial QSOs going on. It was especially bad on AO-27 with a few people clearly unable to get through due to the strength of the QRM. It almost sounded like there was a repeater setup on 145.850 with Roger beeps happening.
I know the use of Roger Beeps isn't the usual current practice for Radio Amateurs, at least in IARU Region 1, so it maybe that it's unlicenced operation such as extended range wireless phones etc. There seem to be a number of those in use in the northern part of the Russian Federation.
Reports of interference in Amateur Primary allocations (2m, 10m, 15m) clearly need to be co-ordinated. Can somebody comment on the correct channels (email address) to pass reports of this nature to ?
Instances like this show why it is important that, where power considerations permit, Amateur Satellites do not use CTCSS tones for access, since we need to know what interference is occuring in various parts of the world.
